What We Expect from Groups – Health & Safety

Groups must have their own Health & Safety documents which consider:

• Roles & Responsibilities – who does what, training needs, handover, and committee oversight.

• Training & Induction – how members are briefed, required inductions/training (including refreshers & drills), and how records are kept.

• Equipment Safety – inspection & maintenance, safe storage/handling, use of specialist kit, and quarantining unsafe equipment.

• First Aid – arrangements in place for activities/events.

• Venues – considerations at different venues, including emergency/evacuation procedures.

• Participation Requirements – what members need (equipment, training, health requirements), and how responsibilities are communicated.

• Activity Requirements – competency of leaders, supervision of less experienced members, activity-specific protocols/equipment, and any governing body standards.

• Incident Reporting – clear process for reporting incidents and near misses.

• Risks – relevant and specific risk assessments

Risk Assessment // Asesiad Risg

Hazard: A hazard is anything that may cause harm eg. chemicals, electricity, working from ladders, driving, undertaking social surveys [another word for Hazard could be Danger].

Harm: Injury or illness.

Risk: Is the combination of the likelihood, great or small, of someone being harmed by the hazard and the consequence/severity of that harm should it occur.

Control: what we do to make it safer.

Reasonably Practicable: Weighing up the cost versus the benefit ie. evaluating the risk against the trouble, time and money needed to control it.

Perygl: Perygl yw unrhyw beth a all achosi niwed ee. cemegau, trydan, gweithio o ysgolion, gyrru, cynnal arolygon cymdeithasol [gallai gair arall am Hazard fod yn Beryglon].

Niwed: Anaf neu salwch.

Risg: A yw’r cyfuniad o’r tebygolrwydd, mawr neu fach, o rywun yn cael ei niweidio gan y perygl a difrifoldeb y niwed hwnnw pe bai'n digwydd

Rhesymol Ymarferol: Pwyso a mesur y gost yn erbyn y budd h.y. gwerthuso’r risg yn erbyn y drafferth, yr amser a'r arian sydd eu hangen i'w reoli.
